Abstract: The rise of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has profoundly reshaped the global landscape of terrorism, challenging existing security frameworks and international relations. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the origins, expansion, and far-reaching consequences of ISIS. It examines the ideological foundations, recruitment strategies, and methods of warfare employed by the group, as well as the socio-political conditions that facilitated its emergence. The paper highlights the global impact of ISIS, from its destabilizing effects on the Middle East to its influence on international security policies, counterterrorism strategies, and the global fight against extremism. It also explores the group’s propaganda techniques and its exploitation of technology to further its cause. By assessing the consequences of ISIS’s rise, the paper investigates the lasting implications for regional conflicts, the refugee crisis, and the security of nations worldwide. The study provides insights into the ideological, political, and military dimensions of the ISIS threat and explores strategies for preventing the spread of radicalization in the future. Ultimately, this paper calls for a multi-faceted approach to addressing the root causes of terrorism and the global threat posed by ISIS.
